The Palash tree, or “Flame of the Forest,” sets the Indian landscape ablaze with its brilliant orange-red flowers in the spring. These beautiful flowers are not just ornamental; they are rich in antioxidants and flavonoids that give them their therapeutic properties. For centuries, they have been a safe and natural source of color for rituals and celebrations.
The Tesu flower is most famous for its use as a natural colorant, traditionally used to make the vibrant colors for the spring festival of Holi. In Ayurveda, it is known for its cooling and astringent properties, making it excellent for pacifying Pitta and Kapha. It is used in skincare to soothe rashes, reduce inflammation, and improve the complexion. A decoction of the flowers is also used to support urinary health.
Our Tesu flowers are collected from forests where the trees grow wild, hand-picked when they are in full, vibrant bloom.
The delicate flowers are carefully shade-dried to preserve their stunning color and beneficial compounds, then ground into a fine, brilliant powder.
